The thought just occured to me that, "theoretically", the hands-down Top Dog Gen-1 Camaro should have been the COPO 9560 (ZL1-engined) Camaro with the COPO 9737 "Sports Car Conversion" package (Z/28-specific 13/16" front sway bar and E70/15 tires/wheels)...of which exactly TWO were built (#3, #69)...hardly an RPO-qualifying effort.

These two COPO 9560 cars should have been all-'round street terrors...Z/28 underpinnings...Z/28 Curb Weight (ZL1 engine = SBC in weight)...at least an extra 150 "real" hp. Trouble was, the ZL1 Camaros weren't "eligible" for any mass-audience race series involving corners...unless you count the one at the end of the strip... Woulda made fantastic drift cars...if such an event was present/known, then.
